"He'll hit Mexico with a 35% tarriff..he' got Michigan in the bag."

Thirty years ago maybe, but the state doesn't look like that anymore.

He'll lose Michigan. Here's why: the GOP voters on the west side of the state are too moderate for him. Trust me, I grew up in Grand Rapids. Remember that these are the people that were/are represented by Jerry Ford, Pete Hoekstra and Justin Amash. Conservatives to be sure but not fire breathers. Also many of them are Amway employees (not the sellers but the people that manufacture the product) the anti-free trade stuff is kind of a turn off. Trump will win Kent and Lake Counties, but he'll tie or lose up around Grand Traverse, which he would need to win. All of those will be with low turnout. Whats left in the northern have of the Lower Pennisula, the UP, and the thumb aren't enough to off set the drumming he'll take in Genesse, Ingham, Wanye, Wastenaw and Macomb county. High victory margins in Detroit, Flint, Lansing and Ann Arbor will hand the state to Clinton.

 Stop s-talking (to) yourself! 

icnif77:

I found some review:

 

trump-clinton

The FBI’s October surprise has thrown the 2016 election into November chaos. But an examination of the trigger mechanism behind this event reveals a deeper layer of manipulation by the media and financial interests behind the election. 

 

Podesta Clinton

With one week left in the most chaotic and dangerous presidential contest in American history, the Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign is damaged and sinking. Even the propaganda protection of the Clinton-controlled mainstream corporate media is starting to buckle. 

 

FBI clinton

The trigger mechanism did not originate from FBI Director James Comey’s letter. It was the Wall Street Journal which revealed the fraud and bribery scheme: The wife of the Number Two Man at the FBI Andrew McCabe had received a large sum of money from Hillary Clinton… .

 

Hillary e-mail

Because it’s so blatantly obvious to the entire world that Hillary is guilty as sin, Comey’s whitewash didn’t go over well with either Americans or longtime FBI agents who reacted angrily to Comey’s over-the-top corruption.

By Karl Denninger, 2016-11-06 17:17

.... would bring charges for someone allowing their uncleared, foreign national maid to have access to classified material, including the Presidential Daily Briefing (which is Top Secret), on a daily basis. ---- James Comey, FBI Director.

That's not a joke, folks. It is in fact exactly what James Comey has now said -- twice. First on National TV, and now again in print.

Read here: our Constitutional Republic is truly dead and the FBI is no longer a law enforcement agency.

It is merely a gun-toting gang that forces the people, under pain of being murdered, to allow blatant and outrageous abuses of the law to be committed by certain privileged individuals -- including Hillary Clinton. Every single one of the 35,000+ FBI employees has confirmed through their action or inaction, this fact.

It is finished.

This from Michael Moore, when Trump stood in front of the Ford's offices and gave a speech saying if you close anymore factories and move them to Mexico, that he was gonna hit them with a 35% tariff. He got Michigan in the bag.

A Trump supporter on Real time, trying to stain Trump and lift up Hilary , part of the crap she was spewing was that many illegals will become legal, most Americans don't want that and it's a big deal to them. They casually try to slip things like this in but Americans are sick of the pandering to illegals. 

Trump says the things that Americans have been waiting to hear for decades. Americans that lost their jobs when Bill signed jobs over to China. They don't see him as the Delusional maniac he is. He to them is simply not a politician.

Cub, in the future please try to finish all ramblings of this type with the phrase "wake up, sheeple!" so the rest of us can know just to gloss over it.

Really, what you should be doing is posting in a style more like icnif77. Make more spelling and grammar errors so that we know to reflexively question your ability to formulate thoughts. And remember to back up your opinion by citing with some rag publication. Make sure that it issues a lot of blanket pronouncements about what is going to happen. If at all possible make sure the events described in those pronouncements never occur. When other's mention it to you, blithely ignore them.

You'll notice icnif uses zerohedge. This is a great example. Its articles are written by a fictional character. It uses bold for no discernable reason. Its wrong more often than a broken clock. Its really the gold standard for being a kook, which I think is what you're going for here. Now, that doesn't mean you should only use zerohedge. The Daily Mail, Infowars, Brietbart, Global research, New Max, all of them are sufficiently bonkers. As a rule of thumb ask yourself if this is something a racist older relative would post to their Facebook wall to show how very concerned about it they are.

@matt: ZeroHedge uses fictional character to protect identity of real bloggers, who want to stay anon. If blog-man doesn't have desire to be covered, blog/article is signed with full name or it's c&p from elsewhere.

That's all it is in 'fictional character'. It is the traders web site ('no hedge'= truth!) and 'Durden' is on the ball. Why '0H' would have more than 100k views a day, if everything is so fictional?

I disagree!  I think cub does an excellent job already to make us reflexively question his ability to formulate thoughts... his lack of punctuation, the long stream of adjectives and nouns or verbs - and thus ends up being fairly meaningless.

 

If he starts making spelling and grammar issues, we'll probably just think he's a NNES - which is fine! I'd like to think that most of us would read through such things to see the coherence and intelligence (even if we disagree -as you do with Icnif all the time).

 

Granted, writing in code that you're the only person who understands it would help. And he does an awesome job of misreading most things written to challenge his ideas.

This chart tells the whole story of the night: Trump - the massive underdog - appears to have pulled off precisely what he promised to do: Brexit times 10, having won virtually every key battleground state including Ohio, North Carolina and moments ago, Florida.

Citizens of western countries are sending a strong message against immigration and outsourcing jobs, Dem didn't listen. To the end they kept attacking Trump as being a deporter but they were too stupid to realize that's exactly what Americans want. Americans don't want illegals to be legalized. I hope Trump follows through on deporting illegals and instituting fair trade deals.

Shifu. As Trump has already won, your prediction is on the money. You are absolutely right. Even the republicans did not want Trump to win.  Why? because he may put a stop to all the graft and corruption.  46% of our elected officials are lawyers. If you want a corrupt system elect a bunch of lawyers to run it. Hillary is a lawyer, Obama is a lawyer and look what Obama did to our health care. He belongs in Africa among the trees. Now he is setting up a position for himself on the supreme court.

Apparently, the answer was 'yes'.

 

Well, at least for some demographics.

 

I just heard on a radio interview with an analyst (Rep, btw) who quoted stats that about 1 million millenials didn't turn out to vote for Clinton who would normally have voted Dem, while the rate for millenial votes for Reps remained about the same as usual (which is about 20% of them).

 

Also, those millennials who did vote, tend to do so for independant candidates - not the mainstream anymore

 

There was also talk about being the lowest rate (or something) for a party ever since it's inception more than 200 years ago!

 

So, not only did people give the system the finger - they also decided to let other people vote for them (by not voting themselves).

 

Same analyst suggested that this election was the only one in (recent) history to have such low reference to actual policies... rather than just attacking each other.
